Who else is out there. Don't fuck it up Wenger.

Sounds like they want to sell. All the signals are there aren't they?

No surprises there then.

What was actually said is that we made a bid and Lyon did not follow up on the offer. They didn't respond to us full stop

[The Emirates Gallactico]

A bit shithouse from Lyon to make this public - I'm guessing they're trying to raise interest from other suitors to drive up the price but I'm glad at least we've made some movement in the window to get a striker.

We've bid £29m. What's adding another £11m to that when Wenger has already said we need a striker with pace? We must have identified other targets if we're willing to walk away from this deal. I doubt we have but we act as if we do. That's why other clubs spend over the odds for certain players. The manager sees the quality they want in a player and they make sure they get him if they're essential to the plan.

Lacazette wants to leave according to the press.

It's a lowball offer at a price we were never going to get him (West Ham have already offered more).

They turned down a higher bid from West Ham a month ago or so. Lyon didn't come out then with a press release. I doubt he's going anywhere unless a 60/70m comes in.
